I recently came across a proposal to create a marketplace of sorting algorithms for Lemmy, allowing users to browse, select, and even create their own custom sorting algorithms. This would provide more advanced users with additional ways to customize and sort content, and give the community the ability to share their creations. I’m curious to know if this is actually possible within the Fediverse and what your thoughts are on the idea. Would this be a valuable addition to Lemmy, or do you see any potential drawbacks?
I can’t be the only one who’s tired of seeing two-day-old posts on the frontpage with active, and less-than-an-hour-old posts with hot
I’m definitely there with you. I actually forgot that hot existed because it’s basically a ‘new’ sort.
On the one hand it’s handy because it makes me browse Lemmy less and do more productive things instead, but it isn’t good for encouraging growth of niche communities and topics if everyone is just looking at the same few posts.
